Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

He had just witnessed the entire manufacturing process of this electromagnetic gun. The outer shell was made entirely of ordinary steel, and the inner shell was simply filled with some strange coil patterns using special metal. Only the core used a little more material, but it was still only at the level of a first-level soul tool.

It was already amazing that such a high-quality prosthetic limb could be made using a first-level soul tool core, but now they have actually made a powerful weapon with the strength of a seventh-level soul tool using a first-level soul tool core.

If this were to become widespread, it would be enough to change the course of a war, or even the entire continent. It would be far more significant and valuable than the soul-guided prosthetic limbs, and there would be no comparison between them.

"Not entirely. It's limited by the materials. This thing is more of a disposable item. It will be scrapped after use, but the special metal inside can be recycled and reused."

Tian Hao tossed the electromagnetic gun in his hand to Zhao Ju for her to play with and look at, but he didn't really care about the work.

This was merely a stepping stone for him to apply for a large quantity of special metals from Shrek Academy; it wasn't categorized within that knock-off version of science fiction.

In that fabricated, knock-off science fiction system, this thing is just a toy.

Of course, this thing can only have the power to kill a Soul Saint when it is under full load; in that state, it is a disposable item.

He imposed limitations on this aspect. Under normal circumstances, the burst damage to the core is not significant, and it can be triggered at least a hundred times. In terms of power, it would not be a problem to kill a three-ring Soul Master.

However, using materials from a level one soul tool to create an electromagnetic gun with power comparable to a level three soul tool should be enough to attract the attention of the higher-ups at Shrek Academy.

At the same time, this stepping stone can also be used to obtain the ancient books and materials in Shrek Academy. Although I have read the ancient books and materials of the Duke's Mansion before, if I want to understand the specific events that happened after the war ten thousand years ago, especially what kind of contingency plan Tang Shenwang left here, I still have to go to Shrek Academy.

"Don't tear it down, I'm going to take a nap."

Seeing Zhao Ju's obvious fascination with the electromagnetic gun, Tian Hao offered a reminder before heading into the room.

He needs to think about Shrek Academy again and make a proper plan.

"Your biggest mistake was attacking Erlang."

Watching someone return to their room, Zhao Ju gently stroked the electromagnetic gun and sighed.

Although he was a member of the Duke's household, he did not owe the Duke's household anything.

The Duke's mansion nurtured them, but they also gave back. Six generations of their family served in the White Tiger Guard, and all six generations died on the battlefield. Even he himself almost died in battle, and lost a leg a year ago.

Such an investment has brought the Duke's mansion far more benefits and merits than the cost of training them; the Duke's mansion has actually profited.

Therefore, even if Erlang clashes with the Duke's mansion in the future, he will not hesitate to accompany Erlang and point his spear at the Duke's mansion.

The Duke's Mansion has now forced Erlang to the opposite side, which is a disaster and could even affect the entire Star Luo Empire.

Fortunately, Erlang is joining Shrek Academy this time. If he were to join the Sun Moon Empire, the electromagnetic gun he created alone would be enough to multiply the Sun Moon Empire's strength several times over, making it easy for them to wipe out the major empires on the Douluo Continent.

Once this kind of weapon reaches a sufficient scale, even a Title Douluo would have to kneel before it.

Although he hadn't yet tested the electromagnetic gun's power, he knew Erlang's character and personality; he would never lie.

Not to mention that the soul-guided prosthetic limb has already proven Erlang's amazing talent in the soul-guided system.

Currently, due to material limitations, the electromagnetic guns produced are only disposable. If there were enough materials, this shortcoming could certainly be overcome.

It might even enhance the power of the electromagnetic gun, making it comparable to a level eight or even level nine soul tool. A level nine soul tool can threaten a titled Douluo, and if it could be upgraded into a soul cannon, it would be even more terrifying.

This demonstrates the value of this electromagnetic gun's soul guide.

Will my second brother become an Avenger in the future?

Zhao Lian'er walked out with her face covered in cucumber slices, her heart filled with worry.

She had only suspected it before, but Erlang went to see Huo Yun'er as soon as he was released from prison, which made her suspicions come true. It was clear that Erlang really liked Huo Yun'er. Now that Huo Yun'er had been persecuted to death, coupled with the pain and torment of ten years in death row, Erlang must have endless hatred in his heart.

She was genuinely worried that Erlang would become a vengeful person in the future, or even live with hatred for the rest of his life.

"I hope he can find another love in the future!"

Zhao Ju was also worried about this, but she didn't have any good solutions. When it comes to matters of the heart, the only way is to fight fire with fire. If Erlang could meet someone he liked again and use love to resolve that hatred, there would still be hope for him in this life.

Chapter 693 The Deception in Progress

Tian Hao was unaware that his "Yang Erlang" persona was becoming increasingly popular. After pondering for a few days, he set off for Shrek City.

They did not enter the city through the nearest east gate, but instead entered through the south gate.

Because Shrek Academy is located in the eastern part of the city, and in order to guard against the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, not only are the city walls taller and thicker, but there is also a soul master legion stationed there, and even the city gate is guarded. Apart from Shrek's own teachers and students, outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave from there.

Only the other city gates are open to free entry and exit, without restrictions, and there is no need for an ascension to the throne.

This facility was specifically opened up for merchants to facilitate their transactions and circulation, thereby bringing huge tax revenue to Shrek Academy, which is the largest source of income supporting Shrek Academy's operation.

"It's so big!"

Looking at the magnificent city walls and gates, even though she had seen the Star Luo Imperial Capital, she was deeply shocked by the scale of Shrek City. It truly deserved to be known as the number one city in the world.

"It's no worse than Star Luo City!"

Zhao Ju was also very shocked. She really couldn't imagine that a Soul Master Academy could build a city that was no less impressive than the capital of the Empire, especially since its prosperity surpassed that of Star Luo City.

Tian Hao, however, was indifferent to all of this. As the one who created the Martial Soul God Kingdom, Shrek City was nothing to him. He could create a city of this size by simply waving his hand.

Zhao Ju watched Erlang walk silently through the city gate and sighed inwardly.

The previous experiences, especially Huo Yun'er's death, had a huge impact on Erlang. There were very few things that could concern him, and he was not even moved by the sight of a magnificent city like Shrek Academy.

Clearly, his heart has been closed off. We need to find a way to open Erlang's heart as soon as possible, otherwise he will really sink into hatred, and that kind of life would be too tragic.

With a sigh and worry in her heart, Zhao Ju approached the soldier guarding the city gate and asked how to apply for a teaching position at Shrek Academy.

They didn't know much about Shrek Academy, let alone how to apply. Although they were confident in Erlang's abilities, they still wanted to understand the relevant procedures.

The soldiers guarding the gates in cities usually have the ability to act as guides, and they know more about the situation inside the city.

"Shrek Academy is separated from the city. It's very difficult for outsiders to enter; they need someone from within the academy to guide and introduce them. Moreover, Shrek Academy never recruits teachers from outside; all its teachers are trained in-house and stay on to teach..."

Soon, Zhao Ju met up with Erlang and his wife who were walking ahead. With a bitter face, she told them the information she had learned with a gold soul coin.

They had underestimated things before; now they're finding it difficult even to get close to Shrek Academy, let alone apply for a teaching position there.

Moreover, Shrek Academy never recruits teachers from outside; they train all their own students. This will be fatal to their future endeavors.

"Let's wander around the city first and see if we can find an opportunity."

Tian Hao said calmly and continued walking forward with his hands behind his back.

This little thing was no problem for him. Even without using his spiritual power to hypnotize someone, it wouldn't be difficult for him to fool someone inside Shrek Academy.

Seeing that someone was so calm, Zhao Ju and Zhao Lian'er naturally didn't say anything.

Moreover, even if Shrek Academy doesn't work out, they can go to other advanced soul master academies, or even the Sun Moon Empire.

After wandering around for a while, Tian Hao suddenly stopped in front of a restaurant.

"A Soul Master-level Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul and a Great Soul Master-level Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, along with this unawakened Devouring Attribute—could it be those two?"

He had a guess in his mind. He had just sensed familiar auras in the restaurant, namely the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul and the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had an unactivated Devouring attribute and even a slightly evil aura.

If these two were separated, there would be nothing to say, but when they were put together, and still in Shrek City, two people immediately came to mind.

"How about we eat at another place?"

Zhao Ju also stopped in her tracks, looked at the obviously high-end restaurant, and then, thinking about the remaining money in her hand, offered a weak suggestion.

He and Lian'er had almost spent all their savings on building prosthetics, and they didn't have much money left.

Although they killed the evil soul master and the soul saint of the Netherworld Zhu family in the death row, they didn't have many gold soul coins in their storage soul tools. They couldn't use those gold soul cards, and the contents inside were hard to sell. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were penniless now.

The luxurious decor of this restaurant clearly indicates that the prices are not low, starting at least at ten gold coins.

"Someone will help us pay the bill."

After saying this casually, Tian Hao stepped into the restaurant.

Zhao Ju and the other woman had no choice but to follow.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

The waiter asked with his signature smile.

"No, find a private room facing Shrek Academy and order three servings of your local specialties."

His tone remained calm, but Tian Hao was secretly figuring out how to hook those two fish and get them to pay the bill.

As someone who has mastered the art of deception to the extreme, it would be too beneath him to have to pay for his own meals when he's out and about.

Not to mention they're just two young people; it wouldn't be hard to fool them.

Seeing the extraordinary aura of the masked man and the two men behind him who resembled guards, the waiter didn't dare to be negligent and led the two up to the fourth floor to a private room that hadn't been reserved for the day.

The waiter went in first and opened the window. Since the guests specifically requested a private room with a view of Shrek Academy, they must want to enjoy the scenery of Shrek Academy while eating.

This aspect of service must be done well, making guests feel at home; this is their restaurant's service philosophy.

"Please wait a moment, sir. We will bring you our restaurant's signature dishes shortly."

After saying that, the waiter left and closed the door behind him.

Tian Hao stood by the window with his hands behind his back, admiring the scenery of Shrek.

"Truly worthy of being the best in the world!"

As she walked over and gazed at Shrek Academy in the distance, Zhao Ju couldn't help but sigh.

Walking through the city before was one feeling, but now standing on high ground and looking out is another. Shrek City truly deserves to be called the number one city in the world, no less than Star Luo City.

Shrek Academy, in particular, is filled with powerful individuals, and it is said that there are Limit Douluo among its members, making the major kingdoms extremely wary of it.

"They're nothing but grasshoppers in autumn; Shrek Academy's demise is imminent!"

Tian Hao said calmly, raising his voice slightly so that the two small fish could hear him.

"Shrek is so powerful, who could possibly destroy this place?"

Zhao Lian'er was puzzled. She knew a little about Shrek Academy, whose strength made all the major empires wary. Even the Sun Moon Empire regarded Shrek Academy as its number one enemy, but dared not offend it.

Who could possibly defeat such a powerful Shrek Academy?

Zhao Ju was also puzzled and didn't understand what Erlang meant.

"It was precisely because this place was too powerful that it was destroyed. In this world, weakness is a sin, and strength is also a sin. For those in power, the most intolerable thing is power that is beyond their control."

Moreover, Shrek Academy was too greedy, unable to control its avarice, which sowed the seeds of its own destruction, just like the once-renowned Tang Sect, destined for decline and extinction.

Noticing that the two small fish were using their soul power to enhance their senses, Tian Hao continued to deceive them, saying, "More than four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent collided with our Douluo Continent, which led to a great war."

The Sun Moon Empire dominates a continent and is more powerful, while our Douluo Continent is in a state of division, unable to truly concentrate its forces, and thus falls behind in battle, suffering repeated defeats.

At that time, Shrek Academy gathered sixty titled Douluo from across the continent and made them commanders-in-chief of the three armies. They integrated the power of the three great empires, defeated the Sun Moon Empire's army, and won the war.
